Can we talk about porgs for a second? Those penguin-ish birds that inhabit the cliffs of the Ahch-To waterfront. I hated them the second they appeared on the screen of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

They were dumb. They defied the laws of avian physics with their tiny little wings. I hated that in a universe populated by sentient slugs, floating rocks and interstellar hyperdrives, it took poultry to break my suspension of belief. I hated that they served no real purpose in the story except for to sell more toys after the credits rolled.

My little boy loved them. And that’s when I had to accept the fact that the latest trilogy of the franchise wasn’t made for me. These are his generation of characters in this ever-expanding universe. There’s still plenty of nods to my generation of fans. Director Rian Johnson did a great job of tugging on the nostalgia with close-quarter dogfights between the Millennium Falcon and swarms of Tie Fighters, or Luke’s last stand with a lightsaber, but this space opera belongs to him now.

And I think that’s wonderful. Me, the grown man who kept a Storm Trooper action figure on his newsroom desk for the last decade, was snuggled up watching the latest installment of the series with his son, clutching his giant Porg plush toy. Star Wars is for both of us now.

Of course, I will always remember my generation of movies as the best, despite their own silly plot holes and gratuitous characters made for marketing purposes. I mean, seriously, how did the Ewoks become such master rope makers with those tiny little hands? Someday, hopefully, he’ll get to watch Episode 15 with his own kid and he’ll have to explain why porgs weren’t dumb.

But right now, Rey and Finn and Poe are his heroes. Theirs are the stories that will make up the mythos that the kid in him will always believe in. These chapters are for him.
